In Teatrophy: Three More Plays, critically-acclaimed playwright/author/poet Peter Carlaftes offers a trio of brilliant and intense modern plays that inspire on both page and stage. In Anti,” Carlaftes explores a frightening futurein which government surveillance and data mining is the normthrough the eyes of a theater director on the verge of giving up hope. The chilling psycho-sexual drama Closure” examines the relationship between a woman whose sister was abused a child, and the rapist-murderer that stalks her outside her therapist’s office. In the tender and humorous Inside Straight,” characters must confront their lovers’ sudden shift in sexual orientation as a gay man and a lesbian woman discover they are attracted to each other. The San Francisco Bay Guardian praised the play: Inside Straight is a comedy of eros! . . . A restive heart knows no logic or permanence.” All three plays share a passion for beautifully drawn, full characters and powerful moments that force them to expose the true identity they work so hard to hide. As the SF Weekly raved, As with Strindberg, Beckett or even Sartre, Carlaftes’ message seems to be something we intuit, like music.”

Peter Carlaftes is a New York-based screenwriter, playwright, actor, poet, and editor. The author of A Year on Facebook (humor), Drunkyard Dog,I Fold With The Hand I Was Dealt (poetry), and Triumph for Rent: Three Plays, he is also a codirector of Three Rooms Press.
